Hello Cwatson7227,
Welcome to the EmpowHER community. Thank you for your question.
With a fasting blood sugar test, a blood sample will be taken after an overnight fast.
A fasting blood sugar level less than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) is normal.
A fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) is considered prediabetes.
If it's 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests, you have diabetes.
Cwatson7227, I suggest you speak with your physician who ordered this test and how the result relates to you.
Regards, Maryann
